Real estate in France: rising rates and housing tensions

In early November 2026, the existing property market appears fragile in the Rhône in the face of rising rates, while in Nouvelle-Aquitaine prices and rates are rising and houses are becoming scarce. The Assembly's economic affairs committee is then examining a bill aimed at extending the rent control experiment. Developments then turn to contrasting local trends, with prices rising in some ski resorts, a 12.5% drop in Nantes over five years and divergent trends in Corsica, as well as a new tax on vacant homes on January 1, 2027 and a slump in new home sales in Hauts-de-France. Housing is emerging as a major concern, with 76% of French people saying it will be a voting criterion in 2027, while mortgage rates close to 4% paralyze the market and their rise continues to weigh on owners. Banks are lowering their loan insurance rates, the DPE for mountain homes must evolve in early 2027 and falling prices do not offset rising rates.

Angle comparison for the whole story

The three sides cover the same housing crisis but diverge in angle: the left focuses on tenants and rent control, the center on credit rates and the electoral dimension, the right on owners' expectations and buy-to-let taxation.

Left

Highlights tenants and the rise in the rent reference index, furnished rents higher than unfurnished rents, and criticizes rent control as deemed insufficient (the Senate refusing to extend the scheme).

Centre

Emphasizes the rise in credit rates close to 4% weighing on borrowing capacity, the slump in new home sales and contrasting local situations, as well as housing as a voting criterion in 2027 according to polls.

Right

Stresses French expectations for renovation rather than new construction, the majority wish to lighten landlords' tax burden, housing as a major voting concern, and the loss of attractiveness of certain cities like Nantes.
